Modbook Tablet Made From a MacBook Priced at $3,499
Those interested can customize the tablet via several upgrade components.
Modbook has announced that pre-orders have opened for its 13-inch MacBook tablet, which will set consumers back $3,499.
Set to ship mid-November, the base price is $3,499, and you'll have to pay a $500 deposit. In addition to the base unit, several upgrades are available for those interested.
"Custom configuration options for the Modbook Pro include the choice between a 2.5GHz Intel Core i5 or 2.9GHz Intel Core i7 dual-core processor, increased memory up to 16GB and select solid-state drive options with up to 480GB of internal storage. As the only OS X tablet computer of its kind, the Modbook Pro can be ordered to come preinstalled (via OS X's Boot Camp utility) with Windows 7 as a secondary operating system, or even to boot natively into Windows 7 right out of the box," the company explained.
"The dynamic product configurator also allows customers to build out a full desktop setup with up to two standard or Wacom pen-enabled large-screen displays, adding a maximum of 5020 by 1600 pixels (two 2560-by-1600-pixel external displays) to the Modbook Pro's built-in 1280 by 800 pixel screen."
Modbook originally made its debut back in 2008, which is when it was a hand-built mod that saw 13-inch white polycarbonate MacBooks being deconstructed and then put back together as large touch-screen tablets.

You don't understand why people are willing to blow that kind of money on an Apple product?
Well I don't understand why people can't comprehend simple articles.
Modbook pro is NOT an Apple product.
They aren't even affiliated with Apple.
Do I think this is a dumb over priced idea? Of course I do, you can buy a MacBook Pro, iPad and PC for less that this one product.
It may have apple internals, but don't blame apple for some company that buys their product, modifies it and tries to sell it to consumers. They have nothing to do with it.

Anyone who buys this should have directed the money to getting a catscan instead, you clearly have a brain tumour

The hardware may be nice, but seriously, you need to pay about a third of this price or less
No, they didn't delete your post, people down rated it and now it's hidden. Apple Sucks. Period. Whether it's a true Apple turd or some stupid Hackintosh.
